Article display apparatus

Abstract

An article display shelf, formed from an injection moulded plastics material, has a base (10) with a side wall (12) providing inwardly extending ribs (14). Movable baffles (20) are mounted on the base (10). In one position, the baffles (20) co-operate with the ribs (14) for edgewise display of such as video cassettes, and can be moved through an intermediate position for an angle faced display, to a position for a full faced display. Thus the shelf can adapt to any desired type of display to retain cassettes without danger of collapse.

I claim: 
     
       1. Apparatus for retaining articles for display, the apparatus comprising a base, an upstanding wall on one side of the base provided with a plurality of parallel, inwardly extending fixed ribs so spaced as to allow edgewise location of an article between adjacent ones of the ribs, and a plurality of abutment members which are spaced from the ribs towards the other side of the base, the abutment members being mounted on the base for movement between one position, wherein the abutment members are aligned with respective alternate ones of the ribs to enable an edgewise display of the articles, and a position at right angles to the ribs to enable a full faced display of the articles, through an intermediate position enabling an angled face display of the articles. 
     
     
       2. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the outermost abutment members are aligned with the ribs adjacent the outermost ribs. 
     
     
       3. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein each abutment member is pivotally mounted on the base. 
     
     
       4. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the apparatus is formed from an injection moulded plastics material.
